Looking for factory correct 1985 IROC center caps

Just purchased an 85 IROC. Car came with new snap in logos, but no "towers". Just looking for information on where to get them, and maybe a picture or two. Checked out the ones on Hawks, but they say that they are for 15's. Would they be interchangeable?

The 85-87 caps aren't interchangeable with the 88+. I purchased mine from the site below:

James -

Which ones do I need? Are you saying that the snap-in logos are for '88+?

You need the 85-87. Each cap is composed of three parts, as seen in the link below, but snaps into the wheel as a single piece:

I don't think I have the right wheels, then. The wheels I have are pictured at the link, all the way at the bottom of the page. This may be the source of my confusion?

EDIT: yep, wrong wheels. They are the 15" z28 style. My bad.

Your IROC should be equipped with the 16" wheels directly above those you mention.

Yep, you're right. Am I correct in my understanding that factory had a set specifically for the back, and a set for the front?

The wheels are marked 'front' and 'rear' because of the different off-sets.
